This Girl Can is 10!

This Girl Can is 10!

This Girl Can is celebrating 10 incredible years! Over the past decade, despite significant challenges like a global pandemic, This Girl Can's mission to close the gender activity gap has remained unwavering.

The gap starts early, with over half of girls stepping away from sports by age 16, and it continues into adulthood.

Thanks to the Luton Healthy Weight and Physical Activity Grants and This Girl Can funding, we are empowering school girls in Luton who typically don't engage in team sports or after-school clubs to discover the joy of physical activity, boost their confidence, and connect with new friends.
